Lupita Nyong’o Announce Her Break-up with Selema
Lupita Nyong’o set social media abuzz after she announced her break up with Selema Masekela on Instagram.
In the lengthy note on her Instagram page, the Black Panther actress revealed that she is going through a heartbreak. Even though she did not fully divulge the reason for their breakup, she subtly hinted at feelings of deception and betrayal.
“At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust…
I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception. I am tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have regained my strength enough for me to say, “Whatever, my life is better this way.” But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love…” reads part of the message.
